A QUESTION or JURISDICTION.
SAse Decided By tire Federal
Supreme Court.
"uDfe"e eo"f"
by telegra ph 10 the DIspatoh.l


WASHINGTON, January 10.--A decision
wa- rendered by the Supreme Court to-day
in the novel and interesting international
case Of the King OF the Belgians, by Charles
Mali, Consul, against the keeper Of the COM
mon jail OF Hudson county, n. J. On
he 10th OF last October there occurred
on hoard OF the Belgian steamship
NOordland, lying at her dock in
JCTsey City, fight between her sallOrs. Ia
the course OF which one OF them named
Wildenhus stabbed and killed another
named Frigens-both Belgian subjects.
The police authorities arrested the MUIR
deTer and two other sailors, who were wit
nesses Of the fight, and imprisoned them in
the Jersey City Jail. The Belgian Consul,
acting under instructions from his
Government, demanded the release OF
all the prisoners on the ground that the
crime was committed within the iurisdic
ton OF the Kingdom OF Belgium, and that
under The law Of nations and the treaty be-
tween Belgium and the United States he, as
Consul. had sole authority In the premises.
The demand for the release Of the prisoners
vas refused, whereupon the Consul sued
OFT a writ Of babe0S corpus, and upon dis
mlssal OF that writ by the United States
Circuit Court lie brought the case to this
court by appeal.
In a long and carrfully-prepared opinion
reviewing the history OF the development
OF international law and all treaties between
the United States and foreign Governments
which have any bearing on the question,
ChIef.Justice Waite, speaking for the
court, says that the principle which gov
ern the whole matter Is this: Disorders
which disturb only the peace OF n ship or
those on board are 10 be dealt with eXcIu-
siyely by the sovereignty OF the home OF
the ship, but those which disturb the re-
pose OF the people on shore may be sup.
pressed, or. II need be, the offenders
punished by the proper authorities OF the
local jurisdiction. 1t may not be easy at all
times to determine to which Of the two
Jurisdictions the particular act or disorder
belongs. Much will undoubtedly depend
on the attending circumstances OF the par
ticular ease, but all must concede that fel0-
nous homicide is subject for local iuris-
diction, md II the proper authorities are
proceeding with the case in the regular
manner the Consul has no right TO interfere
to prevent II. The decree OF the Circuit
Court dismlssins the writ OF hdbeds corpus
l. affirmed

il was this bill or nothing. OF course the

framed which The railroad advocates would
not oppose, Because this bill was supposed
to be imperfect and 10 have some short
